OP, I didn't see your reasons until after I posted Nursing problems with my first were what drove me to pumping for DD. I really, really don't know if I would make the same choice if I could go back in time, but I understand and respect that you would consider this route. To me pumping is a better choice than FF, our bodies make milk for a reason. again, please feel free to pm me

pp, my supply issues started when DD was about 6 months and I started to push solids a little bit more when she was about 7 months.
